Hi everyone,
First-time poster in this forum, so sorry if this has already been discussed numerous times.
I play online and B&M poker 20-30 hours per week, and do quite well at it. However, about 2-4 times per month, I get together with friends and play low-stakes poker "just for fun." However, I have found that I am definitely a loser in my home games. I think it is a combination of playing at lower stakes than I am used, and trying to have "fun" at the same time, as opposed to the serious poker i normally play. Maybe this is healthy and keeps me at the top of my game in my other games (kind of like Daniel N.'s party nights), but at the same time, my friends are much worse poker players than me, and I don't understand why I keep losing to them without fail. Has anyone gone through something like this before?
Thanks!
